The rapid development of nanotechnology is opening a huge world of promising
possibilities in healthcare, but this is also increasing the necessity to study the potential risk …

Humans are regularly exposed to silica nanoparticles in environmental and occupational
contexts, and these exposures have been implicated in the onset of adverse health effects …

Particulate matter (PM), which is the primary contributor to air pollution, has become a
pervasive global health threat. When PM enters into a respiratory tract, the first body tissues …

Exposure of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) towards lung leads to pulmonary
dysfunctions and various lung diseases. However, the interaction of VOCs with pulmonary …

Pulmonary drug delivery has drawn great attention due to its targeted local lung action,
reduced side effects, and ease of administration. However, inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) …

Fluid interfaces, ie the boundary layer of two liquids or a liquid and a gas, play a vital role in
physiological processes as diverse as visual perception, oral health and taste, lipid …

Lung surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins which plays a major role in the
respiratory cycle. This makes necessary to understand the effects of different external factors …

Direct physicochemical interactions between the major components of electronic cigarette
liquids (e-liquids): glycerol (VG) and propylene glycol (PG), and lung surfactant (LS) were …

Understanding the alteration of the air-liquid interfacial properties of pulmonary surfactant
(PS) in the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is …

The paper highlights and discusses the role of interfacial phenomena in the interactions
between inhaled solid particles with different properties (size, structure, surface …
